Tanning lotions warning - don't use too much

Posted by Alexander Quin on April 21, 2010 at 2:10am

If you decide to use a tanning lotion, don't use too much. In fact, it's best to test it somewhere on your body. Definitely turns your skin ORANGE. What's funny is that I got it for a date. Since I can't well go with orange hands, I've postponed the date.

    I would suggest the gradual tan moisturiser lotions - I usually apply it to small patches with a make-up brush, and larger patches with fingertips. Or you could try mixing the tan with a little moisturiser to dilute it? I only end up doing this in the summer when my normal skin tans. Otherwise, I generally try to keep out of the sun and then apply it all over - it kind of blends the vit away! Hope this helps! Good luck with the date :)

    this has happened to me too!! takes practice and experimentation with different brands!

      was there one brand you liked in particular? Seems to be hard to cover spots on your hands, short of something like this, since anything you put on washes off!
